Internet’s Coolest Fad: The Mannequin Challenge

So what has the Internet been up to these days (besides the buzz on the new POTUS)? Well on this week’s list we’ve got the Mannequin Challenge. You probably have seen them everywhere viralling through the web-o-sphere. It has got A-list celebs like the Destiny’s Child to Ex-FLOTUS, Michelle Obama on it. If you’ve not caught on yet, here’s a rundown of it.

Basically this latest craze is a freeze-frame – a video of a crowd being completely still as if frozen in time (like a mannequin per say) in whatever position they were before time ‘froze’. The unofficial music backdrop is Hip Hop brother duo, Rae Sremmurd’s Black Beatles, who also made their concert goers in on it at one of their show (see below).
